It is just as consistent to be- lieve that hens in a poultry flock will reduce annually the profits from the flock as it is to believe that excessive overhead or idle employees will reduce the annual earnings of any business organization. It is a comparatively easy matter for us to build coops, raise chickens and in a word go into the poultry business but not everyone can make the endeavor profitable. Of course, we are proud of the interest and the recent development that the people of this territory have made in the poultry industry, but if growth is to continue we must give more attention to some of the minor details which invariably reduce the profits of the business. The one that comes to my mind at this1 time which I should like to discuss briefly is the CULL or hen. Her presence in the flock creates two conditions, both of which are equally detrimental. First of all, she eats feed, occupies space and hinders the producing hen; second, she reduces the per cent of flock production and in the end, the annual profits per bird. The number present in any one flock at any one time depends entirely upon the individual Very few can be found in the progressive poultrymans flock, because winter or summer, whenever he goes into his coop he is seeking to eliminate her. On the other hand, many culls can be found in the flock of the poultryman who is negligent, who is disgusted and says there is no money in poultry raising. The successful poultryman seldom has them and the unsuccessful poultryman makes little effort to get rid of them. Now, if there are more successful than unsuccessful poultrymen in any one territory a healthy desirable condition prevails and the business is on the uplift, whereas, a greater number of unsuccessful poultrymen will produce the opposite condition. After all then, we are interested in the average of the group for it is the barometer that points the way to success. In this connection, you may be interested in a few results that were secured by the agricultural classes of the Box Elder high school, who put over a culling demonstration in this territory during February and March of this year. Between February 13th and March Sth, nine flocks containing a total of 3007 birds were culled. A careful record of the eggs laid in the seven day period prior to culling, shows that a total of 8716 eggs were laid .by the 3007 .birds. In other words, the average per cent production for the total number of birds before culling was 41.4 per cent. A total of 300 hens were culled out the per cent of culls in the nine flocks running all the way from 2.2 to 19.1 per cent, with an average of 9.9 per cent. The record in the seven day period after culling showed that the poul-tryma- n.

HANSEN. 49c to $1.95 at a discount of 15Tc. pit'"8 cwpe Enjoyed OWN COMMUNITY TO ALL producers laid 9797 eggs or an increase due to culling and the advancing season of 10.3 per cent in per cent of average flock production. The three hundred culls on the other hand laid 134 eggs in the seven day period following the culling. The point is this, if our flocks contained approximately 10 per cent of culls during the months of February and March, the very natural time of the year for birds to lay, it is safe to say that the number of culls in our flocks have doubled in number by now. There is only one way to keep the per cent of flock production where it ought to be if we are feeding and caring for our hens properly and that is to eliminate the culls consistently 365 days out of every year. This does not mean that a hen should always be culled as soon as she stops laying. There may be other reasons why she should be kept. The exact conditions should always be Clearly understood by the poultryman. Heavier culling should begin in June or July, just as soon as any of the hens stop laying, and should continue in the fall until the flock is reduced enough to make room for the pullets. Under most conditions, lf it is preferable to carry over or of the hens rather than to raise pullets to take their places. By beginning culling early in the summer, a big saving can be made in feed, and the culls will usually bring more than they will late in the season. Some people have the idea that the hen that molts early will lay early, but that is erroneous. Occasionally, a fowl that stops laying in June or July will molt and start laying again in October or November. This is the exception, however. Nearly always the fowls that stop laying early do not begin again until after the fowls that laid late. The late layers molt quickly, while the early quitters molt slowly. If only one culling is made, it can generally be done best during the month of August, and at that time all hens that have quit laying should be culled. It is not my purpose to discuss the details or methods of culling, but merely call attention to the need for eliminating the boarder from our flocks. The same is true of our dairy cows and some others of our farm animals. Any text book on poultry will give you an idea of the points to keep in mind when cull- ing poultry. Bulletins on culling are numerous and the agricultural department of the Box Elder high school will be glad so far as time permits to assist in eliminating these culls from your flocks. No community will develop as it should while a large per cent of its citizens are idle and the poultrymen of Box Elder county and Utah will not develop and profit as they should as long as their flocks contain large numbers of these 2707 23, NUMBER 40. 1929. Premium List for Utah State Fair is Published containing the Premium List the 1929 Utah State Fair arrived at our desk today. Its pages are replete with valuable and interesting information regarding this year's fair, which promises to surpass any previous fair held in Utah. The date of this years fair is set for the week of October 5th to 12th. Each days program is full of educational and entertaining features. The fruit displays and exhibits give big promise of being even better than the wonderful displays of previous years and accommodations are far better this year for the displaying of the various commodities and crops usually seen at occasions of this nature. A 136-pag- e booklet SCHOOL OPENING ANNOUNCED BY of F. A. HINCKLEY tegular Class WorK Starts Monday, September Sixteenth at Box Elder High. The students selected their classes for this year before school closed in the spring, and the programs have been made out during the summer by the teachers.
